章節 16: Barbarians and Their Barbaric Ways

編輯: EndlessFantasy Translation

“<Justice Defense>!”

Realizing that he could not beat Zhang Yang, Kindling Chest Hair had immediately provoked the boss to temporarily pull Black Claw’s aggro over.

“Ding! You are affected by <Death Stare> (Stack 1). All damage received increased by 100%, lasts for 12 seconds!”

Kindling Chest Hair really had the worst luck. Just as he provoked the boss, Black Claw had activated <Death Stare>. His body flashed in a crimson glow and a debuff appeared above his avatar.

This skill could not be dodged or blocked.

The provoke effect had worn off after 2 seconds and Black Claw returned to attack Zhang Yang.

“Fire up the DPS1!” Zhang Yang said in the party channel. He was not worried about being instantly killed under the stacking effect of <Death Stare> but more so that the longer they took to kill the boss, the more Black Claw would cast <Venom Spit>, ultimately wrecking the party when the healers became overwhelmed.

Of course, in this Normal Mode he could easily solo kill the boss alone!

After a while, Black Claw turned around and took aim at Prideful Precepts, spitting black spittle on him.

“F*ck, is that how you pull the monster, noob warrior! How could you let the boss attack me?” Prideful Precepts rebuked and then hollered at the same time, “Heal me!” He had a total of 300HP but 200 was gone instantly.

“You’re the f*cking noob! That’s the boss’ <Venom Spit>. Zhan Yu had explained it very clearly just now, it randomly targets a player! What are you barking at?” Defiant Monk could not hold his anger anymore and finally exploded.

Grunting, Prideful Precepts remained displeased and begrudged but did not fight back.

10 seconds later, Kindling Chest Hair initiated another provoke and temporarily pulled Black Claw’s aggro over again.

“Ding! You are affected by <Death Stare> (Stack 2). All damage received increased by 200%, lasts for 12 seconds!”

Poor thing, he had just drew the boss over and was immediately stacked with another <Death Stare>.

Zhang Yang exclaimed internally, who said this guy was a noob, he’s been provoking precisely when the boss casts <Death Stare>! Such a genius!

After beating up Kindling Chest Hair, Black Claw turned again and Zhang Yang took over the aggro.

After some time, Black Claw stopped his actions and aimed at Snowy Death, casting <Venom Spit> and dealing 200 HP of damage to him.

Kindling Chest Hair casted the third provoke on the boss after <Justice Defense>’s cooldown had completed.

“Ding! You are affected by <Death Stare> (Stack 3). All damage received increased b 300%, lasts for 12 seconds!”

Black Claw’s <Death Stare> was casted every 10 seconds, coincidentally the same as the cooldown time of <Justice Defense>. This was the reason Kindling Chest Hair had been the receiver of <Death Stare> each time he had provoked the boss.

“-528!”

Black Claw’s normal attack damage was already around 150 points usually and since Kindling Chest Hair had 3 stacks of <Death Stare> on him, his basic damage had reached an approximate 600 points! Deducting the Defender’s passive 15% damage reduction and character defense, the damage had still amounted to 500 plus points!

Reduced to almost nothing from a total of 700 HP in an instant, Kindling Chest Hair panicked and screamed, “Heal me!”

“+76!”

“+73!”

“+100!”

Three green numbers floated across Kindling Chest Hair’s head. They were the healing done by Prideful Babysitter, Ocean Despair, and his own ingested bottle of red pot respectively, raising his HP to 421 points. Although Ocean Despair had hated Kindling Chest Hair, he had still dutifully healed him at such a critical moment.

“-509!”

Black Claw made another blow in an instant and the hit landed on Kindling Chest Hair.

“Ding! Player Kindling Chest Hair has died!”

Black Claw turned and continued attacking Zhang Yang.

Unable to contain it anymore, Flame Emperor laughed and said in the party channel, “It seems that the Defender does have some contribution! He’d endured three times of <Death Stare> for Zhan Yu! Your death was not in vain!”

“Yeah, a hero!”

“You can rest in peace!”

Players that were not from Pride were talking merrily in the party channel, their words causing Kindling Chest Hair to fume with anger. His intention was not even to help Zhang Yang, he merely wanted to throw a tantrum. Who would have known that he would be triple stacked with <Death Stare> which allowed him to be instantly killed by the boss!

He had dug his own grave, provoking the boss continuously to have Black Claw become immune to the effects. Zhang Yang could not have saved him even if he wanted to! Of course, Zhang Yang had no interest in saving such a foolish and arrogant guy even without the provoke immunity. He was not that kind!

“Speed up the DPS1!” Zhang Yang said in the party channel.

“OK!” the crowd replied. Zhang Yang won their respect with his capabilities.

Without Kindling Chest Hair ‘snagging’ <Death Stare>, Zhang Yang had quickly gotten stacked with many levels of the <Death Stare> debuff. Death would be an absolute certainty had the boss even touched him lightly. However, Zhang Yang had maneuvered himself with such agility, moving and dodging, not giving Black Claw a single opening to land a strike!

While <Venom Spit> had caused a certain degree of burden to the healers, because they did not need to heal their tank, a lot of MP was conserved and they had more than enough to heal the other players. The party had not lost any more members.

“80%! 70%!”

Under the constant attacks the party, the boss’ HP had decreased steadily. Nearly 3 minutes later, Black Claw’s HP was left with a mere 10%.

“Ding! Party Leader Floral Shorts has changed Group Looting Parameters to Master Loot!” A system notification popped up suddenly to indicate the change of distribution method.

“Floral Shorts! What are you doing?” Defiant Monk quickly questioned.

“I’m afraid that people will mess up the loot, so I’ll split it myself!” Floral Shorts said in a self-righteous tone.

Everyone kept mum and continued attacking the boss.

“Ding! The party you are in has killed Black Claw! Obtained 3,650 EXP (50 points Party Bonus)!”

Black Claw fell to the ground and dropped 3 to 4 equipment and a heap of gold coins.

“Let’s see what the drops are!” Equipment was every player’s main motivation to enter dungeons. When the boss had died, everyone had automatically surrounded the loot. However, due to the Master Loot Mode, they could only look at the equipment dropped but were unable to pick them up.

[Black Claw] (Black-Steel, Fist Gloves)

Weapon Attack: 7 – 13

Attack Interval: 1.9 seconds

Level Requirement: 5

[Heavy Chest Plate] (Black-Steel, Heavy Armor)

Defense: +2

Vitality: +3

Strength: +1

Level Requirement: 5

[Black Leather Boots] (Black-Steel, Cloth Armor)

Defense: +1

Vitality: +2

Intelligence: +1

Level Requirement: 5

According to the dungeon setting, equipment dropped from Hardcore Mode would be one grade higher than Difficult Mode; and equipment dropped from Difficult Mode would be another grade higher than Normal Mode. Since Bangar Crypt was the lowest level dungeon in the game, only Hardcore Mode would drop Green-Copper equipment. If it had been according to the setting, the equipment dropped in Normal mode should only be White-tiered!

However, the game company had taken into consideration that if the first dungeon had only dropped White-tiered equipment, it would have discouraged the players! Compromising, they decided that Normal Mode would also drop Black-Steel equipment but its level requirement was reduced to Level 5 while Difficult Mode and Hardcore Mode continued dropping Level 10 Black-Steel and Green-Copper equipment respectively.

“Ding! Player Floral Shorts has obtained Black Claw!”

“Ding! Player Kindling Chest Hair has obtained Heavy Chest Plate!”

“Ding! Player Prideful Precepts has obtained Black Leather Boots!”

“Ding! You have been distributed with 96 copper coins!”

A series of system notifications rang. Party leader Floral Shorts had distributed all the equipment in a flash while simultaneously obtaining the gold coins and distributing them to each party member through the system.

This had caused a wave of disapproval among the party members.

“What the f*ck? How can you distribute the equipment without asking!”

“F*ck, barbarians hijacking equipment!”

“What did you think we were? Your workers?”

Floral Shorts snorted and said, “I am the party leader, of course I have the priority for equipment! Hairy is the main tanker, if it wasn’t for him tanking the boss’ <Death Stare>, we wouldn’t have beaten the boss, and he died twice. Is it wrong to prioritize him in equipment distribution? As for Precepts… he dealt the highest DPS among those who wore robes!”

“F*ck you! You can’t even command as a leader and had zero contribution to the party! How dare you put yourself as priority?”

“The Defender is a complete joke! There’s no difference to our party with or without him around! Zhan Yu got stacked with 13 stacks of <Death Stare> and he was alright. What difference would 3 stacks make?”

“Look at the damage statistics yourself! If you’re not blind, Precepts was much worse than Flame Emperor!”

Prideful Magus replied immediately, “The damage statistics is not even accurate. How is it possible that our Guardian ranks first every single time? I’ve been attacking all the time, I might as well commit suicide if my attack is lower than a tank!”

The rest of the players got even more enraged listening to his self-righteous argument.

“Let’s go on, let’s go on. It’s just a few equipment, everyone can get them after a few more rounds!” Prideful Babysitter pacified the party.

“Change the party leader or we’ll quit!” Hundred Shots said.

“Yeah, change the leader!” the others followed.

“Ding! Player Floral Shorts has made player Prideful Precepts the Party Leader!”

Is this showcasing the lowest level of one’s IQ?

“F*ck! You are all shameless!” Defiant Monk was rendered speechless by these Pride members’ scoundrel ways.

“Either change the leader to Zhan Yu or disband!” Hundred Shots said while the others agreed immediately.

The four Pride members were at a loss.

“Ding! Player Prideful Precepts has made player Zhan Yu the Party Leader!”

Zhang Yang had encountered plenty of barbarians in his previous life but those who could compete with the Pride members were indeed few! These men should have joined the Rogue Clan! He smiled lightly and changed the Group Looting Parameters to Roll-the-Dice Mode and said “Let’s continue!”

He did not care for the loot from Normal Mode, there would be more good stuff waiting in Difficult Mode and Hardcore Mode!

He had wanted to kick the four Prideful players out but had quickly changed his mind. Expelling them was not the best way to punish them. The best way to release his anger was letting them know that this party had the ability to clear Difficult and even Hardcore Mode so these selfish, greedy guys should have tried to snitch better equipment, then kick the others out at that time to drive them mad with jealousy and regret!

Translator Notes

1 DPS in this case refers to the original term of the term DPS which means damage per second. In most cases, DPS, like many other gaming terminology, can be used interchangeably. DPS could also mean a type of class or role that focuses on dealing as much damage as possible. E.g. “We need another 3 DPSers to fill our party! PM for invite plez”


章節 17: The Second Boss

編輯: EndlessFantasy Translation

The players continued along their way. After killing five waves of minions, they reached the second boss.

A 3-man tall, green-skinned gnome was sitting in front of a large metal door napping, a sharp spear in its arms. The atmosphere was completely silent, as no other minions were around.

[Babarerba the Sleepyhead] (Black-Steel Boss)

Level: 13

HP: 39,000

“How do we fight it?” the party’s sight had settled on Zhang Yang. Unknowingly, he had become the party’s core.

Zhang Yang recalled and said, “This boss has only 2 skills: first, <Curse of Water and Fire>, it will cast a water curse on a random melee player who is not holding the most aggro and cast a fire curse on a random ranged player. These two cursed players will keep losing HP but once both of them are together, the curse will be removed.”

“In that case, we can all fight in melee range distance. This way, there is no need to move everywhere, no?” Hundred Shots had thought of an idea.

Zhang Yang laughed, “If everyone did melee attacks, the boss will only cast the water curse. Two players will then keep losing HP and there’ll be no way to dispel it!”

“Oh!” the crowd nodded uniformly.

Zhang Yang began distributing responsibilities, “Later when we start the fight, ranged players stand together, remember to stand at least 10 meters away from the boss, that’d be around this line. I will position the boss later, ranged attackers do not cross this line or else the boss will consider it as melee range distance. Melee players attack from the left side, whoever gets cursed should run to the center. Respond as quickly as possible, otherwise it’ll be a burden to the healers. After the curse is removed, return immediately to your original positions!”

“Understood!”

Zhang Yang continued, “The boss’ second skill is to summon a puppet to aid him in battle at every 25% HP loss. The puppet’s HP is low, and should be around 3,000 HP in Normal Mode but its damage is sky-high! That is why we must nuke it the moment the puppet is summoned! You guys don’t have to worry about aggro, I’ll be the first to pull it!”

Everyone instinctively looked at Kindling Chest Hair. Usually the main tank would pull the boss’ aggro while the off-tank would pull the minions’. Things would then work out flawlessly. Obviously, Kindling Chest Hair was completely undependable. If he were to pull minions, those minions could end up flying everywhere!

Kindling Chest Hair was annoyed to the point of rage by the team’s stare, “What are you looking at?!”

“Pay attention. Even when the puppet is summoned, the boss will still cast <Curse of Water and Fire>, so always remember to run to the center to dispel the curse!” Zhang Yang reminded.

“Understood!” the crowd nodded again.

“Alright! Start the fight!” Zhang Yang waved his sword and did a <Charge> towards the boss.

“-78!” Normal attack.

“-138!” <Horizontal Sweep>.

Babarerba recovered quickly and with a deafening shriek, it had thrusted towards Zhang Yang with its spear.

“<Block>!”

“-34!” <Block> reflected damage.

“-99!” <Shield Bash>.

“-55!” Normal attack.

“Attack now!” Zhang Yang commanded in the party channel.

The crowd moved onwards, melee fighters stood together, ranged fighters gathered on their end as well.

In just a matter of time, Babarerba had casted <Curse of Water and Fire>.

“Ding! Player Snowy Death has been affected by <Curse of Water>, losing 70 HP per second. Effect will remain until player’s death!”

“Ding! Player Hundred Shots has been affected by <Curse of Fire>, losing 70 HP per second. Effect will remain until player’s death!”

Without waiting for Zhang Yang’s reminder, these two players had come out of their formation and headed towards each other. They got together quickly and split up instantly, returning to their positions and resumed their attack on the boss. The healers had also healed them, quickly restoring their HP.

“Well done! That’s it!” Zhang Yang complimented as encouragement.

About 15 seconds later, Babarerba casted yet another <Curse of Water and Fire>, its targets this time were Floral Shorts and Ocean Despair.

Ocean Despair had quickly gone to the center but Floral Shorts remained attacking the boss.

“Floral Shorts, quickly head to the center!” Zhang Yang frowned as he yelled.

“Run faster noob Knight, I’m still attacking here!” said Floral Shorts without a care.

“Bloody idiot!” Ocean Despair ran towards Floral Shorts in an instant. The moment the two of them were near each other, the spell was removed. Since Floral Shorts did not cooperate fully, they had taken a bit more time, causing them to lose over 200 HP. That was two-thirds worth of their HP value!

Ocean Despair then ran back to his position and self-casted 3 times of <Holy Light>. Only then did he manage to recover his lost HP, his expression vicious.

Babarerba’s HP had been lowered to the 75% mark soon after.

“Damned intruders, all of you must die!” Babarerba raised its spear and began to chant a spell, “Come forth demon from the depth of the abyss, bring evil with you into this realm!”

“Ding! Babarerba has summoned Demon Puppet Tasair!”

A hexagram magic circle appeared underneath Babarerba’s feet. As a dim light flickered, a red demon only half a man’s height had appeared by its side, the demon’s long tail extended from its hip. It had sharp teeth, and deep green-colored eyes.

[Tasair, Babarerba’s Demon Puppet] (Elite)

Level: 13

HP: 3,000

This was a minor demon, also known as an ‘imp’, the lowest ranked among the demons.

“Tasair needs a sacrifice!” The demon shrieked and set its sight on Prideful Babysitter, leaping towards him.

“<Charge>!”

Zhang Yang dashed towards Tasair and landed a slash on it with his sword.

“-62!” Normal attack.

“-142!” <Horizontal Sweep>.

“Target the imp! Nuke it!”

Tasair recovered from the stun and leaped towards Zhang Yang to attack him.

“<Block>!”

“-39!” <Block> reflected damage.

“-98!” <Shield Bash>.

Zhang Yang lured Tasair towards Babarerba and when both the monsters were together, he crouched, evading both their attacks, and returned to his original position.

Tasair’s HP was very low and it was immediately killed under the crowd’s combined attacks. After that, the party refocused their attacks on Babarerba.

It did not take long for Babarerba’s HP to hit the 50% mark.

“Intruders! Your attacks have hurt Babarerba! Babarerba is angry now!” Babarerba raised its spear again and began his chant, “Come forth demon from the depth of the abyss, bring evil with you into this realm!”

A hexagram magic circle appeared once again underneath Babarerba’s feet. This time, a blue fat demon appeared by his side. It had no legs, but there was a black malicious cloud floating under it. There were faces with only eyes on both the front and back of the demon.

[Gluttony, Babarerba’s Demon Puppet] (Elite)

Level: 13

HP: 3,000

This floating demon, due to its blue-colored body and fat shape, was also called “Blue Fatty” by the players. This demon was one rank higher than the previous one but both monsters’ attacks and HP were similar here in the Normal Mode dungeon raid, only differing in their appearance.

“Anbaratumargutton!” Gluttony let out a weird low noise and floated towards Snowy Death.

“<Provoke>!”

Zhang Yang immediately took over and did a blow, “-59” damage text floating from the top of Gluttony’s head.

“<Block>!”

“-39!” <Block> reflected damage.

“-98!” <Shield Bash>.

“Ding! Player Kindling Chest Hair has been affected by <Curse of Water>, losing 70 HP per second. Effect will remain until player’s death!”

“Ding! Player Prideful Precepts has been affected by <Curse of Fire>, losing 70 HP per second. Effect will remain until player’s death!”

Babarerba had taken the chance to cast <Curse of Water and Fire> during the chaos.

“Move quickly!” Zhang Yang frowned as he reminded them.

Kindling Chest Hair went on clashing with the boss like he had not heard a thing…

Prideful Precepts remained unmoving, shooting Frost Arrows...

“F*ck me, you two better start moving now. Your fucking HP is dropping too fast, I can’t keep up!” Ocean Despair shouted angrily.

“Bullshit, I’m attacking! Healing is supposed to be you healers’ job! Why else do we need you to raid the dungeon with huh?!” Prideful Precepts answered arrogantly.

“Fine! Fine! Do it your way. I’m not going to heal anymore!” Ocean Despair stopped his actions.

Prideful Babysitter was desperately healing but even if he were to heal one-to-one, he would not be able to keep going. What else could he do when there were two? He then said, “Precepts, Hairy, you two better get going now, I really can’t keep this up anymore!”

Only then did the two of them stop what they were doing unwillingly, looked around and then ran towards each other.

After a few steps, Prideful Precepts’ HP had dropped to rock-bottom, Prideful Babysitter was nearly done casting his healing spell but Prideful Magus had then died from <Curse of Fire>.

“Ding! Player Prideful Magus has died!”

“Sh*tty noob Knight! F*ck you!” Prideful Magus cussed, “How the f*ck are you a healer? What the f*ck were you doing not healing?”

“If I ever f*cking heal you dogs with even another single drop of HP, I really am a shitty noob Knight!” Ocean Despair scolded back.

Without <Curse of Fire>, Kindling Chest Hair could not dispel the <Curse of Water>. He was barely alive from his vast vitality, as he shouted, “Shut the f*ck up and start healing me!”

Ocean Despair did absolutely nothing, determined to turn against everyone in Pride.

Prideful Babysitter had been healing Kindling Chest Hair constantly but how could he heal in time, especially when he was alone? Kindling Chest Hair’s HP loss was much faster than his healing speed. Within seconds, Kindling Chest Hair died as well.

“Ding! Player Kindling Chest Hair has died!”

“You f*cking noob Knight! F*ck your entire family!” Kindling Chest Hair too cussed.

“Ding! Player Prideful Magus was expelled from the party!”

“Ding! Player Kindling Chest Hair was expelled from the party!”

Zhang Yang smiled faintly as two notifications rang out, “Too noisy, it’s disturbing the fight!”

Floral Shorts had wanted to rebuke but he held back and said, “OK, just add them back when the battle is over.”

Gluttony was killed promptly, and the battle’s rhythm returned to its normal pace.

Countering <Curse of Water and Fire> was actually not difficult, they were in Normal Mode after all. With the absence of both of Pride’s barbarians, the party’s efficiency had significantly increased with each player running towards each other almost instantly once they were cursed. The pace lasted until well after Babarerba summoned its third demon, as they finished killing the boss rather quickly.

“Ding! The party you are in has killed Babarerba! Obtained 4,924 EXP (50 points Party Bonus)!”
